Log in program

[Truman]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a program that will log me into my yahoo email. This is "homework" from the famous book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.

#! python3
# sel2.py - Takes your email and password to log-in to your yahoo email.

from selenium import webdriver
import time

def my_func(take_em, take_pw):
    browser = webdriver.Firefox()
    browser.get('https://mail.yahoo.com')
    emailElem = browser.find_element_by_id('login-username')
    emailElem.send_keys(take_em)
    emailElem.submit()
    time.sleep(10)
    passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_id('login-passwd')
    passwordElem.send_keys(take_pw)
    passwordElem.submit()
	
def test_it(*args):
	my_func(*args)
	
if __name__ == '__main__':
	email = input("Please add your email: ")
	passw = input("Please add your password: ")
	test_it(email, passw)

The program accepts my email but not the password. It pastes pass into the box but then page refreshes ( or that's what it looks like to me ). I would appreciate if someone who has yahoo email would try it.

submit() is used 2 places in password window,so call login button with id.

from selenium import webdriver
import time

def my_func(take_em, take_pw):
    browser = webdriver.Chrome()
    browser.get('https://mail.yahoo.com')
    emailElem = browser.find_element_by_id('login-username')
    emailElem.send_keys(take_em)
    emailElem.submit()
    time.sleep(5)
    passwordElem = browser.find_element_by_id('login-passwd')
    passwordElem.send_keys(take_pw)
    button_login = browser.find_elements_by_id('login-signin')[0]
    button_login.click()
    time.sleep(5)

def test_it(*args):
    my_func(*args)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    email = 'test'
    passw = '12345'
    test_it(email, passw)

Thank you. Just don't understand why do you use [0] in line 13?
And why can't we use submit() twice?

Thank you. Just don't understand why do you use [0] in line 13?

It return a list with one element,so [0] is to take out that element so click() works on that element.

why can't we use submit() twice?

Because one submit() is for lost password reset and the other submit() is for login with working password.

Tried without [0] and it doesn't work so you must be correct.

Still don't understand your explanation regarding submit() issue, will come back to it tomorrow.
